Origin
From Lincoln, Nebraska to Phoenix’s Family Law Advisory Commission
Angela Hallier earned her J.D. with distinction from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Law in 1990 and has practiced family law in Arizona for more than three decades since. She has been a State Bar of Arizona Board of Legal Specialization certified specialist in family law since 1997 — a credential that requires ongoing testing and peer review, not a one-time award. Beyond her own caseload, Hallier has served as a member of the State Bar’s Family Law Advisory Commission, the body that helps oversee the certification process for the specialty she herself holds.
Practice
A Practice Built Entirely on Family Law
As managing partner of Hallier & Lawrence, PLC, Hallier dedicates her caseload to divorce and legal separation, complex asset division and large marital estates, business issues incident to marital dissolution, spousal maintenance, and paternity. The firm offers both traditional litigation and alternative paths — mediation, arbitration, and collaborative divorce — for clients who want to resolve a case outside a courtroom.
Track Record
Hallier & Lawrence does not publish an itemized table of case results, and no independently verifiable compilation was located in the sources reviewed for this profile.
Past-Results Disclaimer: Every case is different, and no past result guarantees a similar outcome in any future matter.
Client Voice
No attributed client reviews were located in the sources reviewed for this profile; that reflects the public record available, not a claim of a flawless history. Hallier’s professional recognition instead centers on peer-driven credentials: she holds an AV Preeminent® rating from Martindale-Hubbell, the service’s highest peer-review distinction for legal ability and ethics.
Community
Hallier founded Angie’s Angels, a charitable initiative associated with her firm’s community outreach, according to her Super Lawyers biography.
Recognition
Hallier is a State Bar of Arizona board-certified specialist in family law (certified since 1997) and a Fellow of the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML), a national organization of attorneys focused exclusively on matrimonial law. She has been named to Southwest Super Lawyers in family law for multiple consecutive years. This profile uses the word “specialist” advisedly, on the strength of her documented, individually attributed State Bar certification.
The Arizona Legal Backdrop
What follows is general legal information, not legal advice.
Arizona is a community property state, and family law matters are governed by the Arizona Rules of Family Law Procedure — rules Hallier herself has helped shape as a member of the State Bar’s advisory commission. Child support and spousal maintenance calculations follow Arizona statutory guidelines, and custody matters (formally “legal decision-making and parenting time” under Arizona law) are decided under a best-interests-of-the-child standard set out in A.R.S. § 25-403.
The Awesome Attorneys Assessment
Angela Hallier’s differentiator is unusually concrete for a family law practice: she doesn’t just hold a board certification, she has sat on the commission that administers it for other Arizona attorneys. That’s a level of institutional involvement in the specialty that few solo or boutique family law practitioners can point to. The honest limitation: as a managing partner at a boutique firm with a wide-ranging practice — from straightforward divorces to complex marital estates — prospective clients should confirm which attorney at the firm, and at what fee structure, would actually be handling their specific matter.
